Congratulations to Lakota West High School in West Chester, OH! They are the recipients of the 2008 Diane Rubin Award.
The Diane Rubin Award was established in 2004 by the Governing Council
of Mu Alpha Theta to be presented annually. The award was named in
honor of Diane Rubin who worked tirelessly at the National Office of
Mu Alpha Theta for twenty years, before her retirement in December, 2003.
The award will be presented to the Mu Alpha Theta chapter which has a
history of outstanding mathematics service to its community for at least
two years. This service must promote interest in mathematics. Benefit from
this project must be to a group other than its own chapter or its students.
The winning chapter will receive a prize of $500 and a distinguished plaque.
The award will be presented at the National Convention, but a representative
of the chapter need not be present to win. However, to encourage the chapter
to attend, two free registrations and up to $500 towards travel expenses to
the convention will be provided.
To be eligible, the chapter should print and submit the application
Form and should submit a maximum three page description of the mathematics
service project, single sided, double spaced. The three pages may include
pictures, news articles or other printed visual information. Also include
two supporting letters from someone on the receiving end of the project.
The Form and supporting information should be submitted to the National Office,
postmarked no later than March 1 and mailed to:
